Career counsellor, Psychiatric Technician, Rehabilitation Specialist, Case Manager, Advertising Agents, Child Care Worker, Laboratory Assistant, Market Researcher, Psychiatric Technician, Probation and Parole Officer, Social Service Specialists etc. These jobs all require ability to evaluate the needs of a client, to keep accurate and organized records, to express empathy and compassion, and to work towards the best interests of your client. Being an alumni of Lovely Professional University, let me just guide you based on the eligibility criteria defined by LPU only. You are eligible to take admission in LPU for this course if you do possess 50% aggregate marks in Bachelors Degree (any discipline). Lovely Professional University is offering M.A. (Psychology) course which is a 2 Years course (Semester System) & believe me its one of the best course to study from LPU. There is an excellent opportunity for the students of LPU of M.A. (Psychology) to visit the International Universities with whom LPU is having tie ups for attending short term courses (4 to 6 weeks) like Summer school or Winter school under Student Exchange programme. Programme Specific Outcomes

The Psychologist is an expert or specialist in psychology. Psychiatrist or other medical doctor uses medication for treatment while Psychologists can only use talk therapy as a treatment. Sometimes peoples think that Psychologists and psychiatrist are the same professions, but they both are completely different.

There are numerous colleges across the country that offers MA in psychology but I must recommend LPU on the basis of my experience as it offers Masters in Psychology. This degree can take the form of either a Master of Arts (MA) or Master of Science (M.Sc). An M.Sc degree is likely to be more focused on research and the sciences, while an MA may be more focused on the arts and humanities aspects of psychology. I know one such University in Northern India I. e. Lovely Professional University that offers a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Psychology. AT UG level, you could have gone for BA Honors with Psychology as the main subject. In

If your question was about studying Psychological Counseling without any prior experience, then yes, you can. There are some really good colleges which offer Counseling Psychology at both Bachelors and Masters Level. You can be an undergraduate from any stream and switch to a Masters in Counseling Psychology. -Hyderabad Academy of Psychology (HAP) & Banjara Academy offer certificate courses that enable you to get into professional Counseling. -Montfort College, Bangalore (Affiliated to Martin Luther Christian University) offers a full time Masters in Counseling Psychology and you do not need to have any previous psychology experience.
